I didn't realize that it was fashionable to bash Nora. I love her stuff. She's a real-deal musician that can play piano very, very well, write and sing. Comparing her to Madonna is sick. Maybe I like her so much because I spent a few decades in Texas and love the Texan in her voice and her subtle interpretations.
I bought every piece of vinyl I could with her on it and all have good mic selections and great sound. I think there must be a problem with the CD production, because the vinyl sounds excellent.
I love women singers and have Karrin Alyson, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, Stacey Kent, Rose Marie, Blossom Dearie, Diane Hubka, Jennifer Warnes, Erin Bode, Melody Gardot and that's just what's on my iPhone, so don't assume that I've never heard good singers. It's fine and good not to like a particular vocalist, but this thread seems to bash a great artist.
